So I'm basically looking for some medieval-esque songs for me and the lads to sing while we're down the beer tent and what have you.Row Me Bully Boys, and the two Hobbit songs from LOTR (Hey, Ho To the Bottle I Go & The Fine Brew) are the current ones, but I want more. What else is out there?!

Many of our songs are specific to our groups but try this one. A bit later than medieval but should be fine for evening singing.

Fathom the Bowl

I'll fathom the bowl, I'll fathom the bowlGive me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowlCome all you bold heroes, give an ear to my songAnd well sing in the praise of good brandy and rumThere's a clear crystal fountain near England shall rollGive me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowlFrom France we do get brandy, from Jamaica comes rumSweet oranges and apples from Portugal comeBut ale and strong cider are England's controlGive me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowlMy wife she do disturb me when I'm laid at my easeShe does as she likes and she says as she pleaseMy wife, she's a devil, she's black as the coalGive me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowlMy father he do lie in the depths of the seaWith no stone at his head but what matters for heThere's a clear crystal fountain, near England shall rollGive me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl

Deep in the castle and back from the warsBack with my lady and the fires burned tallHooray went the men down belowAll outside was the rain and snowHear their shout, hear their roarThey've probably had a barrel of ale and much, much moreHooray, hooray, hooray, yeahOver the hill went the swords of a thousand men

We had to meet the enemy a mile awayThunder in the air and the sky turned greyAssembling the knights and their swords were sharpThere was not a hope in your English heartsWhen you Hear our drums, hear them soundWe're gonna fight until we have won this townHooray, hooray, hooray, yeahOver the hill went the swords of a thousand men

When the knights come along at the end of the daySome were half-alive and some had run awayBut Hear our triumph, hear our shoutWe'll probably drink a barrel of ale and much, much moreHooray, hooray, hooray, yeahOver the hill went the swords of a thousand men

THE HARD DRINKER(Sung to the tune of Wild Rover)I've been a hard drinker for many a year,And I always fall over on ten pints of beer,So now when I drink, I sit on the floor,And I never will risk falling over no more.ChorusAnd it's no, nay, never,No, nay, never, no more,Will I drink and fall over,No never, no more.I went to a bar that I used to frequent,Despite having sworn that I'd give up for Lent,I asked for two pints, but the barman said "Nay!You'll only fall over like you did yesterday."ChorusWell I pulled from my pocket two shiny gold pounds,And I managed to do it without falling down,The barman said "Sir, please choose from this list,And I'm sorry if just now I thought you were p*ssed".Chorus

I think that I'll stick now to stiff drinks and shorts,Like whiskeys and vodkas and brandies and ports,Cut down on the volume of all that I drink,Then at least when I throw up I won't block the sink.ChorusI'll go back to my woman, confess what I've done,And if she should hit me I won't turn and run,I'll promise to give up... but if I should fail...I'll see you next Thursday for ten pints of ale.Chorus
